    I like your style!

    Just a few other points to reply to questions asked.

    The PC has a general login that's shared so I can see web activity etc but I have a unique login for individual programmes that are used. Like I said not ideal from a security point of view (completely flawed) but I have to stick it out for now.

    I have no intention of bringing it to the bosses attention or getting someone in trouble, I'm still on probation so it wouldn't work in my favour at all.

    I just thought it was odd and it felt a bit intrusive but I think I'll have to put it down to the person being nosey (other colleagues obviously already know this), I'll make sure I remember that in the course of my work and am glad I found out early on so won't be disclosing anything personal to them at all.

    Christ, there are a lot more things to be really concerned about than someone looking up your address.

    Back in the good old days we had Thoms Directory for snooping and it didn't leave a "history"

    Maybe it was someone in HR looking up your address? Ask the question no harm in asking.

    Well, to be fair, it's well justified. Their personal address shouldn't be common knowledge.

    One thing though OP - did you have your address on your CV? Perhaps this person was asked to review your CV.

    No, my address isn't on CV.

    The search was done about 3 weeks ago and I found it this week, I started the job in December.

    As you said youre lucky you found this out early on. Dont let the person know you know! Dont get into the office politics either!
    Use it to your advantage.

    Indeed. The office snoop or blabbermouth, every company has one. If you find out who they are, you can feed all sorts of information to management very efficiently.
